LONGMONT — Police searched for five hours Tuesday to find a young girl who told some teenagers that her younger sister had been abducted but were unable to identify any missing children, Cmdr. Jeff Satur said.

Police were called to Burlington Elementary School, 1051 S. Pratt Parkway, at about 3:15 p.m. after a girl who was between 9 and 11 years old stopped several teenagers and said, “Can you help me? That guy took my baby sis,” and then pointed to a brown sedan or SUV.

The teenagers reported that they told the girl to return to the school to call 911.

The vehicle was last seen traveling northbound on South Pratt Parkway, according to police.

The teenagers were cooperative with police, Satur said.Police will check with local schools on Wednesday morning to make sure all students are accounted for, he said.

The girl who stopped the teens was described as Hispanic, wearing a purple or pink top with pink or green horizontal stripes, and brown capri pants. Her hair was tied back in a messy ponytail, police said.

Police did not have any description of the girl who was reportedly taken.

“We are asking any parent, who has at least two daughters who attend Burlington Elementary or Indian Peaks Elementary to call the police department if their daughter was wearing the described clothing,” Satur said in a prepared statement.

School officials have sent out notifications to parents of both schools to try to identify the child who made the report.
